Restaurant Data Sharing Ordinance Heads to Court

What’s happening? At the end of July New York City passed a rule that required food delivery services to share customer information with restaurants with the policy goal of giving restaurants access to their customers. Now, Door Dash is suing in part because there are no data security measures for when the information is transferred.

Why is this important? Also included in the NYC vs. Food Delivery brouhahah is a cap on fees that delivery services can charge.

How will this be important? Delivery services say ultimately customers will be harmed because they’ll have fewer options and NYC says that restaurants are the backbone of the NYC economy.
